We have large speedbumps and dips at intersections here that occasionally cause the front bumper and underbody to grind. At my first service I was happy to see these pieces are ok. Has anyone found and protectors for the bumper and underbody for the roadster??

i hear you. Unortunately unless you want a bunch of thick padding under your front bumber, just got to be careful. These cars are low.

That's too bad...on my former 570 I had front end lift and a bumper protector riveted onto the front end. And my former GT350 had rails on the sides that took the brunt of any undercarriage scrapes.

My 2001 CL55 AMG allowed me to raise the entire vehicle about an inch and a half with a button on the dashboard.

As long as it didn’t fail, it made heavy cars handle as well.

Thanks again for the recommendation. I just completed the KW coilover and front end lift and it is excellent.Originally Posted by mbjj57
https://www.kwsuspensions.com/produc...ic_lift_systemhttps://www.kwsuspensions.com/mercedes_amg_gt
The coilovers are robust and add good overall height adjustability. The lift mechanism works well. The kit is well designed, includes excellent model-specific instructions and KW was readily available to answer questions.
It took about 2 months to get the kit shipped as these are made to order. Upon installation it turned out we had a defective control module: it would lift the vehicle but after about 20 seconds it would descend and become inoperable. KW promptly sent another module and all was well.
We installed the actuation button below the dash to the left of the steering wheel where it is discreet yet accessible.
Initially we lowered the car slightly from stock height. While it worked well with the lift and looked great, it was not practical for daily driving. We wound up taking it back to stock ride height which works great here.
I'll be using the GTC more often now, not having to worry about clearing most speed bumps and asphalt gullies at some urban intersections here.

My Audi GT has a button that allows access to a switch that raises the car at low speeds. Not quite as easy as the ABC on the 2001 CL55 AMG, but I've avoided a lot of scrapes on the Audi that have afflicted the AMG GT.
